Palestinian government of June 2007
- Palestinian government of June 2007
The Palestinian cabinet that was formed on June 17 2007 ( _ar. المجلس الفلسطيني لحزيران 17 2007) by Salam Fayyad is an emergency cabinet. While widely supported by the international community, it is viewed by some as illegitimate and unconstitutional. President Mahmoud Abbas suspended certain articles from the Basic Law in order for the cabinet to be sworn in without the approval of the Palestinian Legislative Council.
This cabinet succeeds the national unity government whose head, Ismail Haniyeh considers the legitimate government, and which exercises de facto rule over the Gaza Strip; it is supported by the Palestinian Legislative Council, which is dominated by members of Hamas. Effectively, the current Palestinian government under Fayyad acts without a backing legislature.
Only two members of the previous government, Salam Fayyad and Khouloud Daibes kept their portfolios under the new cabinet.
